A study has been made of the endogenous development of two eimeriid Coccidia in the teiid lizard Ameiva ameiva, which were previously considered by Carini (1932) to be conspecific with Eimeria rochalimai and Eimeria boveroi Carini & Pinto, 1926, described in the gecko Hemidactylus mabouia. It has been shown that this is not so, and the two parasites of A. ameiva have been named Choleoeimeria carinii n. sp. and Acroeimeria pintoi n.sp. A description is also given of the endogenous stages of the two eimeriid coccidians previously described in Hemidactylus mabouia. The one from the gall-bladder is renamed Choleoeimeria rochalimai (Carini & Pinto, 1926) nov. comb., and a redescription is made of Eimeria boveroi. The shortcomings of diagnosis based solely on morphology of the oocysts are discussed, particularly with regards the eimeriids of reptiles.
Résumé
Le développement endogène de deux coccidies Eimerildae a été étudié chez le lézard Ameiva ameiva, qui étaient auparavant considérées par Carini (1932) comme conspécifiques d'Eimeria rochalimai et Eimeria boveroi Carini & Pinto, 1926, décrites chez le gecko Hemidactylys mabouia. Il est montré que tel n'est pas le cas, et les deux parasites de A. ameiva sont nommés Choleoeimeria carinii n. sp. et Acroeimeria pintoi n. sp. Une description des stades endogènes des deux coccidies précédemment décrites chez Hemidactylus mabouia est également donnée. Celle de la vésicule biliaire est renommée Choleoeimeria rochalimai (Carini & Pinto, 1926) nov. comb., et une redescription de Eimerla boveroi est effectuée. Les défauts d'un diagnostic uniquement basé sur la morphologie des oocystes sont discutés, notamment pour ce qui est des Eimerridae des reptiles.
